Coming along very nicely Artyom:thumb2:

Thank you.Si!

Some top notch work Neo. Do you drill or punch your holes in the copper? PaulE.

Thank you! I have drilled it. Making holes by punching gives me not very good results.

Some fresh information. Welding is very boring process. I have started it. It seems to me I will need all next week to complete this work. Or maybe more.
By the way. Good modeller from Armorama has mentioned that model hull has diffirent angles and forms . You can see it on comparasion photos.

Great work on the weld beads

Greeting! I am on a half way with welds. Bottom of arches , turret box ,front and rear parts are ready. Now I have to weld sides. I have begun and I am satisfied with the results. It was long way to do it. Hard work with plastic , welds , special grooves for welds. Sorry for bad photos. I will make good ones when welds be ready.

Nothing wrong with those photos — they clearly show your additions to the model, which looks very well done too.

Next stage - wheels. They are terrible! Every wheels consist of two parts. And it is not a funny story to put them together because parts curves. I have seen the reception on Gleb Vasilliev's Magirus. He has put on some plastic between two parts. I've decided to do the same.
And I see this insert in the center of the wheel on photos. Take a look.

Glad you have finished the "chore" of doing the welds. Well worth the hard work. Nice attention to detail on the wheels

Hello,Steve! Thank you! Sorry. My answers are bit too late. Very busy at work. But when I have some free time I continue my work.
Exhaust pipe and it's fixators. Resin,putty,brass,copper. I have drilled 1,5 mm wire to make a pipe. That was crazy :smiling5:

Are you sure you’re working 1:35 scale and not, oh, 1:8 or so?
